CONE to the bridal chamber. Death.

For the first time, her tirst-born's breath,
And thou art terrible!
The untimely death which annually
carries of thousands Of human beings in the
prime of youth, is indeed terrible. The
first approach of consumption is insidious,
and the sufferer himself is the most uncon-
scious of its approach. One of the most
alarming symptoms Of this dread disease
is, in fact, the ineradicable hope, which
turks in the heart.of the victim, preventing
him from taking timely steps to arrest the
malady. That it can be arrested in ito
earlier stages is beyond question, as there
are hundreds of well-authenticated cases
where DR.. P.erce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry has effected a complete cure.

The Southern Bivouao.

In the January number of the South
ern BivOuoc, Judge Hines, in his story
"The Northwestern Conspiracy" tells
OF a visit of Judge Black to Mr.
Thompson, in Canada, made at the
suggestion of Mr.. Stanton, who ex-
pressed seri Gus uneasiness at the wide
spread dissatisfaction in the North, and
who anticipated the defeat of Mr.. Lin
coin in 1854 Mr.. Vallandinham, il
seems, made his famous Hamilton
speech with the expectation that it
would cause his second arrest, which
was to be the signal for the uprising.
The arrest was not made and then it
was proposed to assemble at Chicago,
at the time OF the Democratic National
Convention, as the movement of con-
siderable body of men would not at
that time attract much attenti on. The
nomination of Mcclellan and the atti-
tude of the War Democrats greatly
dampened the ardor of the agitators.
This article will contain an important
letter from Mr.. Thompson to Mason
and SlideIl, written after the conference
with Judge Black, which gives full
review of the situation at that time.

LITERATURE.
The Century.

The Americanism of the Century is
exhibited in the makeup of the January
number. Except a short communica-
ton, it is wholly written by Americans.
Its subjects are for the most part
American and chiefly those of close and
present interest to our people, such
as Lincoln and the life OF the west in
The last generation; the great events of
the Civil War; our material standing
in comparison with other nations; the
Labor question; the Prohibition move
ment; the need of an international
Copyright, etc. Where the subjects are
not American, as in the papers on the
French sculptors and the French actor,
Coquelin, they are closely related to our
art of life by the excellence of the
artists considered; and the writer's are
WeE-known American critics. Readers
of the Life of Lincoln, by Nicolay and
Hay, will be grateful for the liberal
portions of that work which are pre-
sented to them from month to month.
The current part relates to Lincoln in
Springfield The first clash with Doug
las: the Log CABIN and Hard Cider
Campaign; Lincoln's marriage; his re-
